Writhing Spirals of ebon night

Entrance into a Tantric sight

Embellished within the Tapestry of my thoughts

Where rhythms Perch like daggers

Caught

Cascading in the ribbon of Seductive Night

Delirious trajectory Conforming

Contrite

Begging Forgiveness as the blade falls

Whispering Serration of Echoing calls

As I plummet through the Vast Unknown

What I once was; Now no longer Shown

Wings held close

Unutilized

Falling from Light

Paralyzed

Mesmerized

Chastised

Despised

Lost in the quicksilver Agony of Shame

Forgotten Pawn in an endless game.

.

This is a companion piece, written in response to Fall From Grace by Richard M. Ankers

Thank You Richard for the killer Inspiration 😉

Halls stained with silent shadows and serrating whispers bled into the dimness of the icy ether as the glimmer of light from beyond cracked glass panes struggled to permeate the chill. Amid the perturbed hush, a suspiration of frosty air snaked its away along the columns and cold, gray stone; reaching for what lay beyond its grasp; hoping for one last connection with what was long since lost.

Shards of Moonlight

Shards of Moonlight,

Halo of Flame

Whispering Secrets

The Night Won’t Name,

Incantations of Memory

That Entreat and Claim.

Shards of Moonlight,

Silence Singing Loud,

Beguiling the Hush

With a Mystical Cloud,

Transitory Spectacle

Woven Like Gothic Shroud.

Whispers of secrets laugh boldly, yet are jealously guarded; staring like harbingers from her mechanized gaze.

Grace fallen upon unforgiving innocence betrays a wealth of calamity sitting in melancholic glee upon her shoulders.

Childhood sings from the devious shadows; hope smiling as she silently watches clockwork unraveling Gothic nursery rhymes.

.

I confess, I took a cue from Richard Ankers in writing this 50 Word Story.  I’ve enjoyed his for some time now and never thought I could condense my verbosity into so few words, but it was a fun challenge and you will probably see more.  Thank You Richard!

Your Sweet Song's Sound

Speak not when this pale shallow glass
Shall fall in broken shale upon the floor,
Scattering winsome Laughter as Seasons pass,
Whispering in Retrospect, More and More.
Like Fallen Roses in the Burgeoning Rush of May,
When Petals Glisten and Drop in Heavy Balm,
This Passion, Once Remembered, forgets to Play,
And Now sits brooding, Silent in the Broken Calm.
Transparent and Untended in the Willow-ribbon haze,
This Mirror of True Love, now Tarnished Lies,
Reflecting Naught but my Own Shifting Gaze,
While Memory Above the Void, Unraveled, Flies.
Now as the Darkness Seeps and Sinks Around,
My Yearning Heart Strains to Hear Your Songs Sweet Sound.

Upon the Wings

Upon the Wings of Enchantment

I Weave my Hopes, my Dreams,

Enacting in my other Self,

Sweet, Magic Fantasies,

Whispers of another Time,

Far Forgotten, Long Ago,

Capturing my Waking Musings,

Like Sparkling, Shimmering Show.

Pale and tragic now these Hours,

Listless, gothic, horror and Fright;

But Upon the Wings of Enchantment,

Singing,

All that’s wrong, is Beguiled by Right.

Dancing, Twirling, Floating Free,

Mystic, Magical, Fantasy!

Upon the Wings2

Your Sweet Song's Sound

Speak not when this pale shallow glass
Shall fall in mute shale upon the floor,
Scattering winsome Laughter as Seasons pass,
Whispering in Retrospect, now More and More.
Like Fallen Roses in the Rush of May,
When Petals Glisten in Heavy Balm,
This Passion, Once Remembered, forgets to Play,
And Now sits brooding; Silent, not Calm.
Transparent in the Willow-ribbon haze,
This Mirror of True Love, now Tarnished Lies,
Reflecting Naught but my Own Shifting Gaze,
While Memory Above the Void, Unraveled, Flies.
Now as the Darkness Seeps and Sinks Around,
My Yearning Heart Strains to Hear Your Songs Sweet Sound.

Dark Concerto

 

Dark Concerto, Spinning, Romancing,
Seductive, Pounding, Sulkily Entrancing;
Glowering in the Rouge Moonlight,
Courting Oblivion with Vapid Sight.
Empty my Heart to Simplistic Remedy,
With Twisting Thoughts too Dark to See,
And For an Intrinsic, Devilish Hour,
I Savor Your Tempting, Delirious Power;
Even as Daylight is Gallantly Spreading,
I Lure the Melancholy I am dreading.

 

~Morgan~
